HEY KIWIS

You know how we always see cute victorias secret underwear on here but can’t get it? (Well not in Nelson at least!)

They’re doing their 7 pairs/$26 at the moment which when you add shipping and the exchange rate, it’s about $66.50 total which makes it about $9.50 for each pair … less than I pay here for a decent pair of undies!

Thought I’d give you the heads up so y’all can go shoppin’

;)

I just proof read my friends Uni paper…

as i’m really super keen to be eating as many raw foods as possible!!!

If this actually tastes remotely as delicious as cheese then OMG I will be a happy happy girl!!!!

Hiiii

So I have been a little absent. Life has been quite busy in that non interesting just doing stuff that needs to be done kind of way…

I’m super excited because on Friday my hubby decided he would like to buy me some new tights … so we ordered a pair of galaxy and a pair of winter … like these:

Except the winter ones are in different shades … lighter whites and tans.

Super excited for them to arrive.

Tonight he is attempting to make homemade almond butter. He has just dry roasted the almonds and we are now listening to them pop!

And now he’s folding the laundry while i’m sitting by the fire being a lazy arse :/

Have been reading a lot about raw food and eating an alkaline diet for many obvious health benefits so this week the mr and I will try out some new raw recipes and see how that goes.

I’m quite looking forward to it!

Tell me all about your weekends. How are you all??
